Founded by Stephen de Villiers, an award-winning filmmaker with a passion for service and forging life-long client relationships, Beyond Content is an end-to-end production company and content agency. In 2017 Sam Matthews, a post-production specialist and long-term creative collaborator joined forces with Stephen to help take the company to a new level and in a new creative direction. Our core team comprises more than 20 years’ experience and boasts a range of skills and expertise across a suite of filmmaking specialities including drama, documentary, TV production, VFX, animation, and high-end colour grading. In addition, we work with some of South Australia’s top creatives to produce long-form, commercial and online film and video content in Australia and beyond.

The last 18 months have seen our company expand, and we’re deeply grateful for the relationships we’ve forged with our clients who entrust us with their brands, their messaging and their creative. We’ve also continued to make strides in long-form work, with Sam writing and directing a documentary series for ABC at the end of 2017, and Steve producing three new films in 2017 and directing a documentary for SBS/NITV in 2018.

We now have one feature documentary, funded and in production and a feature film with funding from the private sector in active development.

We’ve filmed all over the world on every kind of budget, and have collectively produced or contributed to over 500 films of all shapes and sizes. Today we continue to dig deep, push ourselves further and adopt a posture of curiosity and empathy, which unlocks the power and full potential of every story we bring to screen.

We’re in the business of shaping ideas and conveying emotion and intent, to craft screen stories that move audiences. But we’re also in the business of keeping things fun, and enjoying the ride. Mostly we love meeting new people and sharing stories, so we’d love you to get in touch.
